Should I report this somewhere? It's starting to be a while since I've
first had this problem and it doesn't seem to be fixed with other mirrors
(I've made sure to pick one that definitely has the packages I want). Usually
these types of problems are fixed rather quickly. Much quicker than this
one.
I've tried http://ftp.tux.org/pub/distributions/debian/ with potato and the
task-gnome-apps package is definitely at:
http://ftp.tux.org/pub/distributions/debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/x11/
So what's the problem? Is there something I can do on my end? Here's
the whole line that I'm using:
deb http://ftp.tux.org/pub/distributions/debian/ potato main contrib non-free
